Question

If two bodies of different masses have equal kinetic energy then momentum

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the first object be O and second object be O'

So, mass of O=m  &  O'=m'

kinetic energy = (p^2)/2m   {p = momentum}

As it is given that kinetic energy is equal of both the objects so

  (p^2)/2m = (p'^2)/2m'

        m'/m  =  p'^2/p^2

From this we get to know that the ratio of their momentum is equal to the ratio of their masses or we can also we give a relation be transfering any mass or any momentum to one side.
